Postmodernism has been instensively discussed after sixtees in the social sciences such as philosophy, art, literature, and anthropology. This study discusses the main elements of Renato Rosaldo’s anthropology who can be considered as one of the most significant representatives of postmodenism in anthropology. The aim of this paper is to put forward the elements in Rosaldo’s studies that can be considered within the postmodernism . First of all, Rosaldo, developed a critical perspective both on methodological and epistemological grounds against the classical anthropological way of dealing with culture within the postmodernist framework. Besides, he emphasized the need to attribute significance to the researcher’s experiences both in and out of the field, just like the qualities of the culture under study and discourses of the people sharing that culture. In his writings, the methodological discussions on how the researcher should reflect his/her field experience in ones own work takes place to a great extent. In his later studies, Rosaldo moved his focus to a further undertanding of the globalization process.
